[R] read.table but more tables at once

[baptiste auguie]

Hi,

Try this,

files <- paste("RA94010",1:3,sep="")
# or files <- list.files(pattern = "RA94010")

list.of.data <- lapply(files, read.table, header=F)

# if required, collapse into a single data.frame
do.call(rbind, list.of.data)


HTH,

baptiste
